File Accessed Dates

[mcvpjd3]

Does anyone have an idea why all our files on most (not checked them all yet) of our netware servers have had the Accessed Date changed to 27 Match 2007 00:00:00.

The strage thing is that they all have the same time so it's not as if something was run to scan the files as this would take more than 1 second.

This is causing us severe problems as we run HSM which archives off old files based on last accessed date.

Any help appreciated.

That's very unusual and I've never seen that happen on its own. I've seen wierd stuff happen from both backup software and antivirus software.

anti virus would be my first port of checking

i'm sure old mcafee did this once years ago with a weird config

Also make sure to look at any workstation based antivirus.. I've seen that cause problems - seems like it was a consumer/home based version someone had on a laptop. Caused all kinds of problems with timestamps on the server.
